Track perimenopause symptoms and prepare for your doctor visit
Perimenopause can last years and symptoms vary day to day. Appointments are short. A simple record helps you remember what changed and explain it clearly.
What to track
- Hot flashes and night sweats, with rough time of day.
- Sleep quality, energy and mood.
- Brain fog, joint aches and anxiety.
- Period changes.
- Any treatment changes your clinician prescribed, and how you felt afterwards.
Before your appointment
Choose your main concern and up to three questions. Bring the dates and patterns rather than trying to remember. Your clinician can interpret what you are experiencing; this page is general information, not medical advice.
How My Midlife Story approaches it
My Midlife Story: Menopause is a free iPhone app from Honest Little Apps. Everything below comes from its App Store description.
- My Midlife Story is a private symptom tracker, journal and appointment planner for perimenopause, menopause and the years beyond, free with no account.
- You can log symptoms in one tap with a date and time, and add your own words when you want to; missing days stay unknown, not symptom-free.
- You can pick your main concern and questions and turn the notes you choose into an editable visit brief and PDF for your clinician.
